Bruno Fitoussi is Eliminated

The runner-up in last year's $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event, Bruno Fitoussi was not able to replicate his run and has been eliminated. He was extremely short after losing a hand to Patrick Bueno and went out in a razz hand where he couldn't beat Hasan Habib's jack low.

Isabelle Mercier Scoops Patrik Antonius

Isabelle Mercier
Isabelle Mercier
Omaha-8:

After a {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {J-Spades} flop Patrik Antonius bet out and after Daniel Negreanu folded Isabelle Mercier made the call. The {3-Clubs} came on the turn and Antonius check-called Mercier's bet. The {4-Hearts} fell on the river, Antonius again check-called when Isabelle bet, and she showed down {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} {6-Spades} {5-Hearts} and scooped the pot. She's now up to 273,000 while Antonius is down to 65,000.

Chris Ferguson Has Been Eliminated

Omaha-8:

After Chris Ferguson raised to 5,000 he had just 400 chips behind. Steve Sung called blind, and bet 400 blind after the flop came {A-?} {7-?} {7-?}. Ferguson called and might've had hopes that his {A-?} {Q-?} {5-?} {3-?} was ahead...until Sung rolled over {A-?} {A-?} {K-?} {10-?} for the flopped full house. And with that Ferguson's day came to an end.

Dewey Tomko just took a nice pot off of Marc Goodwin. The players showed:

Tomko: ({J-Spades}) ({J-Diamonds}) {9-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {10-Spades} ({7-Clubs})
Goodwin: (X) (X) {A-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {2-Diamonds} (X)

On third street Tomko completed and Goodwin raised. Goodwin bet fourth street but Tomko bet the rest of the way. Goodwin called him down and Tomko showed the straight. Goodwin mucked and is down to just over 120,000 while Tomko increases his stack to roughly 62,000 in chips.

Rob Hollink
Rob Hollink
Hold'em:

Rob Hollink raised and then called when Hasan Habib made it three bets to go. The flop came {A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {6-Spades} and Hollink check-raised when Habib bet out.

Habib again called Hollink's bet when the {2-Diamonds} came on the river and found that Hollink's made his flush on the river holding {9-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}.
